I'll cling to my

Spiritual Refugee status. But even as a Nativist, I can accept Jesus as a Holy Man, in the Wichasa Wakan sense, and also his divinity - as well as the equal Divinity of the guy standing next to him, and that gal over there, oh yea, those kids, and that clump of passing Roman Centurions... All the Childern of God, or Gods, or what have you.

From the Lakota viewpoint, if you IS, you is wakan, sacred. And that's of course everyhing, us, birds, rocks, wind, water, mice, bugs, trees, buffalo... (maybe not mosquitoes.)

So sacred dude, total Bro'? Sure. THE Dude? No more than the rest of us, but still cool, and I've a soft spot for dissidents and radicals.
